We acknowledge that our work takes place on the unceded, ancestral territories of many Indigenous Peoples across what is now called British Columbia. We honour the birthing knowledge, traditions, and practices of these Indigenous communities, and we recognize the harms that colonial systems, including healthcare, have caused and continue to cause. As birthworkers, we are committed to reconciliation, to centering Indigenous voices and leadership, and to building a birth landscape that is equitable, inclusive, and just for all.
